George is off of work! And she doesn't have to work again until after I go back to NC! Isn't that great, Bubba?
George's co-worker, Linda, was kind enough to drive us around & show us some of the sights of Seattle. Our first stop was an old cemetery with some gorgeous views. This was also the burial place of Bruce and Brandon Lee. Definitely the lovliest cemetery I've ever seen.
Next to the cemetery is Volunteer Park. The park is home to an asian art museum, a conservatory, and a big old water tower. There are some great views up in that water tower. Just check out Mt Rainier & the Space Needle!
Next we went shopping and just enjoyed the sunshine - of which there was plenty! And we could have consumed a socially-responsible crouton, but we had crepes instead.
That night we dressed up & went out. The burlesque show we wanted to see was sold out, so we ended up seeing this strange drag queen/interpretive dance/ burlesque-esque show. We knew we were witnessing something special when a man in a g-string started painting his torso with blue paint. While we were out, we found The Gum Wall. It's a wall. Covered in used gum. Disgusting and fascinating at the same time.

Good to see Dizzy's well past that "not eating" thing. Hee.
What's with Seattle and covering walls with things? When I was in Seattle years ago, I had to leave a big lipstick kiss on a wall covered with them. HAD to.
just so you know... dizzy is not fat - she's furry - and big boned! and that's the story i'm sticking to. if you look at the picture, you can see my shoes in the corner. one of my shoes wouldn't even completely cross her belly! i mean fur!
also, her brush with death has totally changed her personality. she used to be extremely aloof and would avoid almost everyone. Recently, she's turned in a very people oriented cat - she likes people now! visitors? they must be here for me! helloooo!
I've decided that after Dizzy's brush with death in LA, she has decided not to sweat the small stuff. She's livin' like she were dyin', as it were. And she genuinely likes to be pet. All the more reason to visit Seattle, people!
